EGG-BEATER.

To all whom it mer/ y concern:

Be itknown that I, GRAHAM C PARISH, a citi- 'Zen of the United States, residing at Kingston, in the county of Ulster and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful.,

Improvements in Egg-Beaters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, which form, a part thereof.

My invention relates and is particularly adapted to the type of egg-beater generally termed the Dover, wherein there is a beaterframe permanently attached to the handle, about which the beater-blades and their intermeshing pinions rotate, and a main actuatinggear journaled on the handle-shank, which is in mesh with one of said pinions. It has heretofore been the common practice to mount said main gear on the shank by means of a headed rivet, which served the twofold function ofan axle for said gear and to hold said gear in relation to the handle. Owing to the necessity for economy of production. the handle of such beaters and its appurtenances have been made of cast-iron, andit has been found that a rivet is not capable of being fitted well to said handle, so as to give it stability as an axle, nor the gear so accurately drilled as to provide an accurate bearing for said rivet.

lThese defects in the structure of the general type of Dover beater have resulted in alooselness of the main gear, which has resulted in ,an imperfect engagement thereof with its pin- ,ion after short wear, with a resultant wear on all parts, which in addition to great inconvenience to the user has tended to materially ,shorten the life of the beater. A further de- ;fect in this type of beater, contributing to a greater or less extent to the above-mentioned result, has been the tendency of the beaterframe to work loose and permit the pinions mounted thereon to move out of mesh with the main gear after small wear has occurred on the several contacting faces and also'to give an undesirable looseness to the standards of the beater when in use.

The main object ofthe invention is to provide in an egg-beater a construction of main gear and axle therefor which will relieve the securing-rivet of its function of axle for said gear and provide a permament immovable axle therefor, while admitting of a convenient and inexpensive assembling of the parts.

. A furthenobject is to provide in additi'on to this fixed bearing suitable means for so balancing the said gear as to compensate for any Specification of Letters Patent.

slight irregularities of said axle; and a still further object is to providea simple, convenient, and inexpensive means of attachment of the beater-frame to the handle-casting.

The invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter set forth and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l isa perspective view of the upper part of an egg- ,beater embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional View thereof. Fig. 3 is a view of the main gear ldetached from the beater; and Fig. 4L is an enlarged view, partly in section, showing the means of attachment of the beaterframe to the butt of the handle.

Like letters refer to like parts throughout he several views.

In the drawings,l a indicates the handle of the beater, which is provided with an elongated shank 5, carrying the main gear, and a butt c, to which the beater-framed is permanently secured. d denote the beater-blades, rotating, respectively, upon one ofthe standards of the beater-frame d and carrying the intermeshing pinions ff', through which they are actuated by the main gear g, The general relation and construction of these parts are as in the ordinary so-called Dover beater, this inv'ention appertaining more particularly to the details of constructionmby which said parts are maintained in relation to each other.y

The main object of this invention is attained by providing a permanent axle for the main gear g, comprising a stud b', made. integrally with the shank 6 and disposed thereon at a point to conform with the diameter of said gear, which stud has a central opening extending therethrough. The main gear g is mounted upon said stud by means of a hollow hub presenting bearing-faces which by encircling said stud and bearing upon the periphery thereof engage both said stud and the shank b, means being provided for holding said gear upon said stud, as the headed rivet 7L, passing through the opening in said stud, and its head engaging said gear. This rivetV may be of any desired design, as its operative parts are the head 7L', whichl prevents lateral movement of the gear g, and its upset end, which retains the rivet in place. Preferably the stud is of approximately the same height as the hub g', so as to relieve said hub of pres,- sure from the said rivet. While this construction alone will prevent to a great extent lateral oscillations ofthe main gear g, I pre- IOS r ferto provide additional means for preventing such movement, comprising the balancerim g2 on the main gear, which is adapted to come into close juxtaposition to the shank b and with the side extensions b2 b2 thereof, which combination of parts provides the necessary diametrically opposite points to hold the wheel perfectly true. i

The butt c on each end thereof is provided with oppositely disposed parallel ribs or flanges c' c2, one of which, ,as c2, is out away centrally thereof, as shown in Fig. 4E. A hole c3 is .drilled through said butt between said flanges and'opposite said cut-away portion. In attaching the beater-frame to said butt c the ends of said frame are notched or indent* ed to form a laterally-extended loop, and this looped portion is seated in the cut-away portion of the flange c2, the straight portions of the standards adjacent thereto resting between the flanges c and c2. tions d are in place, a single-headed rivet, as c', is passed through the hole c3 and both said looped portions, a washer z" passed over the free end thereof, and the rivet upset. As the head of the rivet and the washer z" each incloses the looped portion of the standards, the same are simultaneously secured to said frame by this process.

The operation of the structure herein described is apparent from the description and the accompanying drawings. The parts being assembled as specified, the relation of the gear g to the shank b is such as to entirely relieve the securing-rivet z from any through its rotation, a's said gear rotates solely upon the stud The depth of this stud and the cooperating hub g limits the tendency of the gear g to oscillate materially, and the said rivet being seated in an elongated, opening eX- tending th rough said stud and having its head engaging said gear g serves to hold said gear upon said stud and prevent any such side movement thereof on said stud as would permit it to ride upon the pinions f or f'. The balance-rim g2 in cooperation with the shank Z) and side extensions Z22 62, owing to the close juxtaposition of these parts, serves as a further limitation upon the tendency of the main gear to run out of true, and thus serves to aid yin relieving' the head of the rivet z from such strains as would tend to work said rivet loose and defeat the objects of the invention. It

.is necessary, however, not only that the main gear g should be made to run true, but that the standards of the frame d should beso firmly secured in relation to the handle as to impart to the pinions ff' such a degree of stability and permanency as will prevent such movement on their part as will permit them to move so as to get the pinions thereon ,out of mesh withthe main gear. In action the parallel ribs or flanges c' c2 hold the parts of the frame on each side of the looped portions d so as to prevent lateral movement. The

When the looped por-` strains thereon y looped portions d', projecting into the cutaway portion of each rib c2, prevents vertical ovement of the entire frame, and the rivet and washer z", engaging both said looped portions, bind them rmly upon the butt c within the space between the ribs c c2, aid in preventing such vertical movement, and prevent such a separation of the standard ends as would permit them to escape from between said ribs and the cut-away portion of the rib c2. The assembled structure in its entiretyl therefore possesses permanency and stability and in use will not have thatloosenss of parts which tends to make the use of the beater unsatisfactory and unreliable.

It will be observed that the construction and arrangement of the main gear and its bearing admit of the` various parts being cast as usual, and, further, that the operation of assembling these parts is simplified, as it is not requisite that the securing-rivet should be carefully selected to insure a good fit both as to the hole in the shank and that in the gear g, as is the case with the ordinary type of Dover beater. Furthermore, the means of attachment of the frame to the butt c of the handle while, as stated, preventing material movement of the frame is also quickly assembled and in a manner to eiectively bind the parts together.

It is not my intention to limit the invention to the precise details of construction or combination of parts as herein shown and described, as itis apparent thatlsuch may be varied without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
